“I would rather feel deeply uncomfortable if it meant not creating an awkward conversation or interaction.” — This is such a relatable, sobering sentence on how we really just exchange one discomfort for another, at our own expense, for the sake of staying in connections that ultimately aren’t fulfilling us! It’s fascinating to think we hold onto these half-dynamics because it’s so difficult to make friends, reintroducing ourselves over and over to hopefully, eventually, feel comfortable, but by presenting only as a mirror to attract, we limit our ability to form real authentic relationships. Communication really is key to unlocking everything!

I always love the media you share, whether it’s on Tiktok or Substack. Thank you Miriam.
